I’ve been slightly frustrated at not being able to leave a comment on some of the blogs I follow. I can write the comment but then it just disappears when I click the preview button. Why do I click the preview button? Because often the security word doesn’t appear unless I first preview my comment. This problem is confined to Blogger.

Today I searched google and found the following advice which reputedly overcomes the problem <click here>.

The recommended solution is for the Blogger blog owner to ensure their comments setting is configured for a pop-up window. Settings –> Comments –> Comment Form Placement –> Pop-up window.

I don’t know if this is solution is valid, but I can confirm it’s the blogs with the embedded comments window at the bottom of the post where I’m have a problem. If I have to click on “comments” to get a pop-up comments window then I can successfully leave a comment.

Yes there does seem to have been a long-standing problem with leaving comments on blogs which have them embedded in the post rather than as a pop up. I gather the other work-around is to write your comment before logging in to Blogger, then when it asks you to log in, make sure the "stay signed in" box is not ticked.

This blog is about us, Tom and Jan.
After a decade of travelling from 'down-under' every two years to spend a brief few weeks having a wonderful canal holiday we decided to eliminate the travel and do it full time on retirement. In 2011 we moved to the UK and built Waiouru before spending 6 wonderful years cruising.
In 2017 we sold our lovely boat and moved back to Perth, West Australia where other adventures are on the 'bucket list'.
